File on doc root won't change unless path changes

Question

I found strange problem about my server/ apache.

I make change of content of some files, lets say, on var/www/test-app/index.html. when I visit the browser: http://localhost/test-app/index.html, the change does not appear, It just like it was not changed at all.

but, if I change the folder, to var/www/test-app2/index.html, the change appears properly.

What could be the issue ??

Note that everything normal again if i restart the apache

HTML files are liable to browser caching unless you disable it. Try checking the Expires and Cache-Control headers in the response from the server, via your browser's developer tools.

You can also visit the URL with a unique get parameter, like ?1 or ?2 on the end.
